Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management01:30

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

604
Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction

1.0K
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It can be either acute or chronic.
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:

Diagnosing and managing appendicitis requires a structured and comprehensive approach that spans from initial assessment to postoperative care. Here is an overview of the process:
Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...

Acute Pyelonephritis II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

199
Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...

Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder

1.7K
Liver and gallbladder diseases are a significant health concern, with prominent conditions including cirrhosis, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and gallstones. Jaundice is a common manifestation of liver and biliary disease.
Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...

Area of Science:

  • Internal Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic poses a significant global health challenge.
  • Limited reports exist on the diverse clinical manifestations of COVID-19.
  • Understanding varied COVID-19 presentations is crucial for effective patient management.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old female with confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia presented with persistent right upper quadrant abdominal pain.
  • The patient was diagnosed with acute cholecystitis during hospitalization.
  • Ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGD) was performed, with negative COVID-19 nucleic acid assay in bile.

Findings:

  • Chest CT scan findings were characteristic of COVID-19 pneumonia.
  • Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGD) was successfully employed to manage acute cholecystitis in this COVID-19 patient.
  • Combined treatment including PTGD, antibiotics, antivirals, and interferon inhalation was effective.

Implications:

  • Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGD) is a viable treatment for acute cholecystitis in patients with COVID-19.
  • Acute cholecystitis may be a potential complication or manifestation of COVID-19.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the association between COVID-19 and acute cholecystitis.
